“iPhone Software Roadmap”. That’s how, the incoming Apple event, has been called.

The aim of the event, which will have the media as audience and will be holded in Apple’s campus in Cupertino, is to present the SDK roadmap as well as its new enterprise features. Of course, we still have our key questions and doubs about it:

• What those enterprise features could be?
• How restrictive are going to be the licence terms?
• How accesible is the SDK going to be?

After this event, in less than a week time, all of these questions will be answered… won’t they?

N-Gage SDK product manager, Peter Lykke Nielsen, showed how the OpenGL ES 1.1 standard will be incorporated into the N-Gage Software Development Kit (SDK) in the future.

There are already a number of N-Gage compatible devices that are also OpenGL ES 1.1 compliant. Nokia plans to offer hardware-acceleration of select N-Gage games going forward, as well as a software rendered version for those devices that lack hardware acceleration.

It’s really good news for all of you who like playing with your mobiles. And I’m not talking about Tetris, Trivial and Monopoly. I’m talking about a real 3D experience in our mobile devices. It’s really interesting the way things are moving. If I had talked about hardware acceleration in mobile devices I would have been called fool.

Finally, the new ZiPhone has been released. It has been awaited by many people who want to unblock their iPhone in an easy way, and more important,forgeting about the exact version of their “favorite” device’s firmware.

The applicacion meets both requirements:

• Unblocking the iPhone has never been easier. Just connect it and hit return on the ZiPhone command line.
• The process is just the same whatever the firmware version installed in the phone.

Moreover, if you are an experienced user, you can have more control over the unblock proccess by using the complete command line included (or the GUI if you are using MacOS).

Download the MacOS version and the Windows version.

Go to ZiPhone website.

Update: In a few days, a new release of ZiPhone will be lauched. This release will allow users to unblock iPhones with the firmware versio 1.1.4. Stay tuned to the ZiPhone website for further events!!

Samsung is scheduled to launch the first LiMo-based commercial phone in the first half of March. The phone, called SGH-i800, will run ALP Linux Access, supporting both the J2ME platform and more than 25K Palm applications. In addition, the ALP SDK is already available for any developer.

Last week, in the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Orange (France Telecom) announced that they will sell the phone by June, after some tests and interface adaptations. This means that Android has a new true competitor, as some members of the LiMo foundation quoted that these devices might be sold for less than 100 $.

Anyway, is quite obvious that the free and open mobile systems are finally reaching the market. In my opinion, this is a true benchmark that will mean, if passed, the end of the closed systems.

For further information, go to the LiMo Foundation website.

T-Mobile was the first mobile operator to sign an agreement with a search engine (Google)  in order to make it their default search engine.

Now, T-Mobile has changed its mind and has dropped Google in favor of Yahoo, an action enclosed in in the Google - Yahoo - Microsoft war for the mobile website search and navigation.

The terms of the agreement specify that the One Search service will be available in 11 European countries in March. By then the users will have the Yahoo OneSearch website set as default along with the Flickr, Messenger, Mail, Weather and Finance services.

Yet the this is not a grown market, Yahoo is positioning itself as the leader company, with 29 mobile operators already as OneSearch costumers.

Now, the point is what kind or reaction is Google going to trigger in order to regain the leadership of the market?  (If any)
